Chapter Summary

This front matter section of the book The Impact of the Roman Army (200 B.C. - A.D. 476): Economic, Social, Political, Religious and Cultural Aspects: Proceedings of the Sixth Workshop of the International Network Impact of Empire (Roman Empire, 200 B.C. - A.D. 476), Capri, Italy, March 29-April 2, 2005 contains the table of contents, list of illustrations, preface, abbreviations, and an introduction. To many inhabitants of the Roman Empire the army was undoubtedly the most visible and concrete representation of imperial power. Military installations and buildings, the imperial guard, other troops, fleets, and militarily tinged works of art brought home the majesty of Rome to anybody who saw them, in Rome itself as well as in other parts of the Empire. To anyone who may not yet have understood the possible impact of Roman military forces this was also made clear by explicit messages.
